This wasn't a sophisticated attack - Pig Butchering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_butchering_scam.

The scammers promised him outrageous returns, and he kept giving them more and more money - without ever actually seeing any real returns.

One has to wonder how this bank ever managed to be successful before.

With all the fraud and scams in the world - how did no one find this guy sooner?
